The final instalment in my postcards from our European holiday in July.

We were not sure if we would visit France this time around, but made the effort to visit Jean’s family in the south for 4 days.

As a photographer I find an immense amount of pressure upon myself to be taking photographs when I am on holidays.

I used to let it really get to me, to the detriment of my time off, and find myself stressed about getting great photographs of my time to share later on social media and so on.

These days, while I carry my camera with me most of the time. I try to just enjoy the moments as they are, and as a result I only have a few images from our time in France.

We spent two days in Paris so as not to miss our flight home to Brisbane. We mostly just wandered around (our favourite thing to do) and I made sure we visited Jardin Du Luxembourg, as I fell in love with it on our last visit in 2016.

And so, as I mentioned, not many images this time around, but at least I have my memories.
